China FM to visit Southeast Asia this week

BEIJING, Apr 21: China's top diplomat Wang Yi will embark on a three-country visit to Southeast Asia this week, seeking to strengthen ties in the face of "risks", Beijing said Tuesday.
Wang will visit Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar from Wednesday until Sunday, Beijing's foreign ministry spokesman GuoJiakun told a news briefing, calling the three countries China's "friendly neighbours".
China has been keen to present itself to its allies as a more stable alternative to US President Donald Trump's punitive tariffs and mercurial policies.    �"AFP
